Emergency

Designed for pilots and aircrews, the Breitling Emergency is an instrument watch with built-in micro-transmitter broadcasting on the 121.5 MHz aircraft emergency frequency. Following a crash or a forced landing, for example, the Emergency will broadcast a signal on which rescuers can home in. The watch thus serves as a complement to the aircraft’s own distress signaling equipment. The Emergency’s transmitter is activated by unscrewing a protective cap and pulling the antenna out fully. It will then broadcast for 48 hours. Over flat terrain or calm seas, the transmitter’s signal on the 121.5 MHz aircraft emergency frequency has a range of about 160 kilometers (100 miles) assuming the search aircraft is flying at 6,000 m (about 20,000 feet).

Breitling is one of the best-known watch brands in the world that continues to forge its own path thanks to its rich watch collections dedicated to the full spectrum of airborne, land, seagoing – and underwater – adventures. 

One of the world's only major watch brands to equip all its models with chronometer-certified movements, the ultimate token of precision, Breitling is also one of the rare firms to also produce its own mechanical chronograph movements, entirely developed and manufactured in its own workshops. The company is moreover one of the last remaining Swiss watch brands independent of any watchmaking group.
